does remington have no life?

[Alberta Bigbore]

ive been waiting and waiting and waiting for Remington to produce a model 700 XCR Rocky Mountain Elk Federation rifle in the chamber .338 win mag, and would nt you guess, for 2007 they just repeated 2001's edition, the .300 rem ultra mag



Previous Editions:
2001 — 300 Remington Ultra Mag (Order #26139)
2002 — 7mm Remington Ultra Mag (Order #26389)
2003 — 300 Remington Short Action Ultra Mag (Order #26438)
2004 — 300 Win Mag (Order #26440)
2005 — 7mm Rem Mag (Order #27415)
2006 — 300 WSM (Order #27146)





guess i shoulda not waited and just got the .300 win mag when it was available.

thought it was 7mm Rem Mag this year

just buy a XCR 338 and buy a quality aftermarket stock, the tupperware Hogue one they use is crap

 

[Gatehouse]

Why not just buy a stainless 338 WM and sticka Hogue stock on it?

 

[todbartell]

they come with a tupperware Hogue stock as is

 

[Gatehouse]

So what is so great baou thtis RMEF rifle, then?

 

[blargon]

XCR .338wm is black/grey Hogue stock. XCR RMEF edition has a camo Hogue stock. Nothing else is different, other than it says RMEF on it. Buy the regular XCR and get Gatehouse to paint it camo.
